This news just breaks my heart. Frank and I loved her beyond the moon. We had the pleasure of working with her and being a part of her VFW and Cootie life. We never went to Joplin without making sure we got to see our beloved Jeanie. We have such wonderful memories and will never ever forget her. Through my tears, our condolences.
